this is setup of the wyze vacuum you have the charging dock the charge cable and large power
brick and you've got the unit itself and then one side brush so first we're gonna flip it over
and attach the side brush so just line up your square peg there you'll hear it click into place
and there you go and we can flip it back over and then based on our starter guide we kind of
did step two which is click the brush we're going to get the charging station in place
for me it's going to be a little tricky because my placement of my robot vacuum is under my
entertainment center so let me get this situated and then i'll bring you in to show you what i did
for me based on the cable length that i see there i probably won't use one of the interesting
features of this charging dock which is the bottom actually opens up that's where you plug it in
but you can also wind the cable in here to kind of help with cable management now based on the length
of this and the power supply that i'll be plugging into being there and the unit sitting over here
i don't think i'm going to actually use this but because it's going to live under the entertainment
center i wanted to i wanted to make sure that i showed you this is an actual interesting concept
because cable management is difficult here you can see again cable management is horrible down here
except for this guy which i it did end up wrapping the cord underneath so that was a
benefit so here you can see it's on you see the lights on and then we move on to the next step
according to the pamphlet the next thing we do now that we have power in the docking station is we
press the power button for three seconds to tell it to go charge so let's try that now
all right so it was a little longer than three seconds but you can see it's pulsing now
turning on it just talked said turning on i don't know if you heard that so it's still sitting there
blinking my assumption is it probably wants to connect to the app so what we're going to do is
we're going to skip ahead and i'm going to jump into the app right here and we're going to select
add a new device and we're going to come down we're going to find
the vacuum so what it wants me to do here is press and hold both the buttons until it says wi-fi
connection so since it's not doing anything and going to the charging dock we'll give this a shot
wi-fi connection has been reset awaiting network connection
alright so it says wi-fi connection has been reset and it's flashing so we're going to hit next
it wants to know my network password so we're just going to throw this in really quick
all right and then from here i need to connect to the wi-fi network that this has created so we're
just going to come down i'm going to search for my wi-fi networks and we're going to look for the one
that says wvcr because i have a wyze base station also hanging around and sending out its own
wi-fi connection so we're connecting the phone and if you have something on your phone that
will not connect to a wi-fi network that does not have internet connectivity you want to make
sure that you kind of tell your phone it's okay just disconnect to it so once you're connected
to this network you say choose which i did so i select this one and now it's connecting so
that's still flashing this is still flashing could take up to a minute so we'll see what this does
then hopefully after it connects here it will actually go to its base station because i was
surprised that it didn't automatically go i have it right in front of the base station which is
just under there no look at that connected it so what we're going to do i'm just going to give
it a name i'm just going to call it wyze vac and finish option to share this device if you want to
we're going to say maybe later and next we're going to complete setup so this one wants you to
now plug in the charging station after you've attached it to the app so the pamphlet that
comes with the vacuum and the directions from the app slightly different we're going to say
next this one wants me to actually physically move that to connect we're going to hit next
and there's a firmware update that it needs to do so what we're going to do first is i'm going to
take this and push it under there and then do the firmware update because apparently that's
what it wants me to do all right so i didn't quite catch that on camera when i pushed it back there
to charge notice when i finally made contact these will blink orange and it says starting to charge
so no if you have this in a place that's a little difficult to get to wiggle it around until you
actually get those connection points in the back and you hear starting to charge now you can see
my vacuum sticking out right there we are going to update the firmware and again this can take some
time so i won't subject you to sitting through the firmware upgrade uh we'll do a time marker of 252
and see how long it takes firmware took a total of two minutes and the robot vac said turning on
so i'm assuming the reboot cycle and then inform me that the update was successful talking robot
all right here you go this is what it looks like when you're done now obviously i haven't
sent this out to do what it needs to do yet this is just what it looks like for the initial setup
you
